The purpose of this study is to collect blood samples to determine if a blood-based test can be used to identify lung cancers that may or may not also be seen on images of lungs. Additionally, the study aims to see if a blood-based test can identify other types of cancers and health conditions.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and how well the medication sotatercept works versus placebo in treating Heart Failure with a Preserved Ejection Fraction. The study will also look at information obtained from the tests performed as part of the study to see if subjects have improvement in symptoms of heart failure. Participation in this study will last approximately 26 months. During the study period subjects will be asked to attend regular study visits with the research coordinator. These visits will include such activities as blood tests, questionnaires, physical evaluation by a study doctor, a right heart catheterization with exercise, echocardiogram, and 6 minute hall walks. There will be 35 visits as part of participation in this clinical trial.
Participants will be randomized to either the treatment group (and receive the medication) or the control group (and not receive the medication). Subjects will have a 66:33 chance of receiving the study medication during their participation in the trial. The treatment assignment is determined by randomization, where a computer selects at random which treatment group you will be in (like drawing straws). Neither the subject, nor the blinded personnel will know which group subjects are in. Neither the subject nor the study doctor will decide what group subjects are assigned.
The purpose of this study is to see if taking depemokimab is safe and effective in treating Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) in adults (≥18 years) with uncontrolled HES receiving standard of care (SoC) therapy. The study will last approximately 52 weeks and is a placebo-controlled, double blind, multicentre study.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2/3 adaptive study involves an initial investigational blood test to determine if you have a specific variation related to kidney disease. The investigational blood test is to see if you have changes in your DNA of a gene called APOL1. People who have this gene variation may be at risk of losing their kidney function faster than others. If you have the variants (changes in DNA) you may be eligible to continue participation in the study. If you do not have the variants, you will not be eligible, and the study doctor will discuss your other options with you. If you decide to participate, there will be no cost to you and you will be compensated. This study will start by comparing two doses of VX-147 against placebo in subjects with APOL1-mediated kidney disease for 12 weeks. Subjects in Phase 2 will continue to Phase 3 once a dose for Phase 3 is selected. Then the Phase 3 dose of VX-147 will be evaluated for safety and effectiveness. If you meet the requirements and choose to take part in the study, you will be randomly assigned to a treatment group. You will not know which study treatment group you are assigned to and it is possible that you will receive placebo instead of VX-147. The study includes a screening, treatment, and follow-up period. The study will end after the last patient enrolled has completed 2 years in the study. This means some patients enrolling earlier could be in the study for up to 4 years.
This study is for men and women with recurrent glioblastoma. The purpose of the study is to see if adding immune therapy drugs to usual radiation therapy can shrink or stabilize brain cancer.
This study is for patients with invasive cancer I-IV and be scheduled to receive anti-PD-1/-L1 ICI-containing therapy. This study is being done to see if we can understand which patients will develop side effects from immune checkpoint inhibitors, and what kind of side effects they will get and can we predict long-term treatment outcomes after immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment, like which patients will have a cancer that shrinks or disappears.
The purpose of this research study is to see whether ticagrelor and aspirin or rivaroxaban and aspirin compared to clopidogrel and aspirin will have the most success in preventing another stroke, bleed in the brain, or death in participants who have already had a stroke from a narrowed brain artery.
This study is for subjects that have metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC). Metastatic means your cancer has spread outside the area where it started and has spread to distant parts or organs of the body. This study is testing an "investigational" (not yet Food and Drug Administration, FDA, approved drug) study drug called sacituzumab govitecan. Sacituzumab govitecan is given intravenously, through IV. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate treatment with sacituzumab govitecan alone and in combination with other treatments namely cisplatin, avelumab and pembrolizumab improves tumor shrinkage. They are antibodies made in a laboratory that blocks signals that the cancer sends to quiet your immune system. By blocking that signal your immune system can see the cancer as foreign and fight it. The subject may remain in the study for 18 months. They may receive additional treatment beyond 18 months if they are tolerating and showing benefit form the treatment.
This study is for men or women who received stereotactic radiosurgery to treat cancer that spread to their brain, and now the cancer has returned in other areas of the brain. This study is being done to see if by adding radiation therapy called whole-brain radiation therapy that avoids the hippocampus to preserver memory plus medication approved to treat dementia can extend these patients lives.
This study is for men with prostate cancer that has come back after surgery. This study is being done to see if PET/CT scans help provide more tailored treatment recommendations and outcomes for men who have prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy (RP) and will adding focal, metastasis directed radiation treatment (e.g.., stereotactic radiation) and/or additional systemic therapy (e.g., apalutamide) to standard of care treatment help to delay progression of prostate cancer in men who have already had an RP and now have recurrence?
